Default Direct bolt up headers?

What are a good pair of not to expensive direct bolt on headers for a 1991 GT?

What are the main differences between equal length and shorty?

Thanks everyone.

BBK's are pretty good for shorties. shorties are relatively easy to install and give you power. equal lengths give a little more power, a little deeper sound, but are a pain to install. hope that helps

are shorties the same length as stock headers?

i got stockers with aftermarket exhaust up to the headers and they are gettin rusty and dirty.

if i got some shorties would they bolt right up?

Yes they will bolt right up. Just get ceramic coated headers next time so you wont have the problem w/ rusting, etc. Its a more money but well worth it.

Also, from experience w/ their long tubes I wouldnt order from MAC. Go w/ BBK.
